Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi predicted NATO aggression against Russia back in 2005:

- “NATO is expanding towards Russia to get to the gas, oil, coal and iron belonging to Russia in order to occupy Russia. This is perfectly clear.

Russian high-ranking officials spoke to me about this topic and said that they know this goal. They know that NATO's real goal is to occupy the oil, coal, gas, iron and gold mines that are in Russia, the Caucasus, and which are not in NATO, so they want to occupy them.
